Excerpt from The Preservation of Life at Sea: A Paper Read Before the American Geographical Society, February 27th, 1879
The subject upon Which I have been invited to lecture this even ing is one that concerns either directly or indirectly every person in this room. We are all liable at some time to be exposed to the dangers to Which I shall refer. My object Will be to show you some of the means by Which a danger may be met, if by others it has not been prevented. Many of these plans are exceedingly simple, and some of them might be effective if at hand, or in the mind even, in the moment of danger. Few persons are able to invent ideas at that time, but if they have thought over the subject in hours of safety, they may be able not only to save themselves, but all on board.
